3. I misread the headline... I thought it meant that thousands of protesters would be sleeping on the
streets of L.A. to draw attention to homelessness when all the glitteratti are assembled, with the media.

THAT would be s strong statement, and it is high time for people to do just that!

I'm not happy about a movie that continues the myth of homeless people as druggies and "mentally ill". It is waaaay past time to look at the reality---people just like any of us, who are without a home.

This article, however, points out the ridiculousness of paying a high cost to keep people homeless, rather than to do the right thing and provide homes for all.

And, of course, Obama is cutting funds for low-income housing. :nuke:
